Trading Academy provides education for people who want to understand stock trading, options trading, futures trading, forex trading, and crypto trading. Our proprietary Core Strategy offers a structured framework to help learners analyze markets and make informed decisions. For over 25 years, more than 85,000 students have taken our classes. Whether you’re exploring how to buy stocks, how to trade options, how to short a stock, or how to invest in crypto, our courses emphasize practical techniques, terminology, and risk awareness. Instruction is available at more than ten education centers across the U.S., as well as internationally in Dubai, with additional online access through a comprehensive student portal and mobile app supported by over sixty instructors. Students gain exposure to a wide range of market topics, including how to buy and sell stocks, use stock trading simulators, understand stock profit calculators, and navigate premarket and after-hours trading sessions. In options trading, students learn what options are, how to trade calls and puts, and explore core concepts such as theta and delta while using simulated environments to apply lessons safely. Futures education covers what futures contracts are, how to trade futures responsibly, and how to interpret trading hours and platform features. Forex instruction helps learners understand what forex trading is, how the forex market operates, and how to use tools like position-size and profit calculators. In crypto education, students examine what cryptocurrency is, how to buy and store it safely, where to trade it, and how to use crypto trading platforms, exchanges, and profit calculators. Across all programs, learners also study topics such as platform evaluation, risk management fundamentals, AI-assisted trading tools, and paper trading for practice. Courses are intended for educational purposes only. Trading and investing involve risk, including the potential loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Trading Academy is not a broker, dealer, or investment adviser.

Being in a classroom for 8 hours a day…
Being in a classroom for 8 hours a day is extremely stressful and difficult. What made this experience so enjoyable was the instructor Ms. Niccki Sitze.
Ms Sitze was a joy to learn from! She was Thorough, patient, extremely knowledgeable and entertaining! I think she should teach a 2 week class for idiots like me 😎

I finished the Core Strategies class…
I finished the Core Strategies class last week with instructor Nikki Sitze. Nikki was fantastic! This has been my first exposure to trading and the class was everything I hoped and expected it to be. I will be taking the Futures class next week. Every person I have met that is affiliated with the organization seems to genuinely enjoy working there and seems genuinely interested in student success. The instruction materials have been clear and easy to digest and I am genuinely excited to utilize the resources provided to develop my trading skills. I have nothing but positive things to say about Trading Academy thus far.

LIFE CHANGER
I can honestly say that joining the Trading Academy was one of the best decisions of my life. I signed up six months ago, and I’m so much further ahead in my trading journey because of it. The instructors I had the pleasure of meeting so far, Nikki, Kelly, Jordan and Keith have been absolutely incredible. I’m very grateful for their time and effort; their passion for teaching is amazing. The staff Justin, Arpine, Alex, Britney and Bertha are so friendly and professional. You really can’t go wrong if you would join the Trading Academy, you just have to put in the time and effort, whether that's attending classes or watching online sessions like the XLT classes. It’s been a life-changing experience, and I couldn’t be happier I took this step for my financial growth. I am enjoying the journey of becoming a very profitable trader.

Happy Student
The entire time the staff and all the instructors were very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. My instructor was great at teaching and introducing the Core Strategy and answered questions quickly. She showed genuine care for all the students. I highly recommend The Trading Academy for learning through all stages that are offered. Five stars

I don't want to complain but I just…
I don't want to complain but I just couldn't follow the teacher, too much jumping around, There should be steps. Learning 1 thing in the beginning then learning there's steps before that, frustrated me. I think people my age 50+ struggled but 40- were on top of it but still got frustrated. I do prefer on demand classes cuz it is more straight forward.
I didn't like that the organization would not refund my money cuz this was to difficult for me. Very expensive classes 38k for me.

I gave it four starts
I gave it four starts. I would like to have been in a class with students with the same level as me.
But perhaps I need to make an appointment to get the answers that I need to get.
